NFL Player Kevin Ware’s Ex-Girlfriend’s Remains Identified

Texas authorities confirmed that the remains found are indeed the remains of former NFL player Kevin Ware’s missing ex-girlfriend.

The remains of Taylor Pomaski were initially discovered in January. Pomaski was last seen on April 25, 2021, at a party at her home in Spring, Texas. Her remains were identified by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office announced Saturday.

“The investigation is still open and active, and homicide investigators are diligent in bringing this case to a close,” senior deputy Thomas Gilliland told NBC News in an email.

The remains were found on Dec. 10 in north Harris County when authorities searched for clues to her disappearance, the sheriff’s office previously stated.

Pomaski was living with Ware, who is a former tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, when she was reported missing.

He was identified as a suspect in her disappearance during a bond hearing for an unrelated gun and drug case. However, no charges have been filed against him in Pomaski’s disappearance.

Ware’s attorney, Coby DuBose, said that his client cooperated with authorities.

“He’s told the police everything that he knows and he’s led them through his house. He’s let them in his home, and that’s really all we’re going to say about that,” DuBose said.
